As the month progressed, the stock attempted to rebound but was pushed back down on Tuesday after Mizuho analyst Dan Dolev downgraded PayPal Holdings from Buy to Neutral and lowered the price target on the stock from $72 to $65. The downgrade at the beginning of the shortened trading week caused shares to sell off, hindering the upward momentum the stock had made last week.
